Hash Hashemian: Visionary leadership
As Dr. Hashem M. “Hash” Hashemian prepares to step into his term as President of the American Nuclear Society, he is clear that he wants to make the most of this unique moment.
A groundswell in public approval of nuclear is finding a home in growing governmental support that is backed by a tailwind of technological innovation. “Now is a good time to be in nuclear,” Hashemian said, as he explained the criticality of this moment and what he hoped to accomplish as president.

H. Design Codes and Life Prediction | Status of Metallic Materials Development for Application in Advanced High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor / Material | doi.org/10.13182/NT84-A33486
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Based on the existing structural design code for pressure vessel and nuclear light water reactor power stations, situations for metallic structures in hightemperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) are described for those metallic structures that mainly operate in temperature ranges of time-independent and time-dependent materials properties. The ASME Code Case N 47 is critically reviewed. For advanced HTGRs with components for operating temperatures >800°C, no nuclear accepted structural design code exists. The status of the ongoing work for the basis of those codes is given with the main emphasis on the situation in the Federal Republic of Germany.
